A Voyage Toward a World of Adventure . . .
Adventures in the Sea and Sky will set sail on a swashbuckling scientific journey through history. We’ll track down seafarers and skydivers, astronauts and astronomers, pirates and pilots in a fast-forward trip through days of yesteryear. Along the way, tales of daring figures and devilish fiends will delight all ages.
The adventure begins on the sea. In your history studies, you’ll trace the chronicles of man’s journeys by sea and the vessels he sailed. The journey will take you aboard clinker- built Viking warships and graceful, speedy clipper ships. At the same time, you’ll also dive into science, studying ocean habitats, and get to know the strange creatures that call it home. Stories of piracy and plunder, bravery and perseverance will fire the imagination.
Next, you’ll take off into the skies, then space. Great adventures await as you trace the story of those who pioneered flight, made it a reality and developed the stunning aircraft and spaceships we see (and don’t see) today! In your science studies you’ll learn all about the weather of our atmosphere, and travel throughout our universe.
Hands-on activities and learning opportunities are integral to the program. Your instructor’s guide has weekly ideas, but in addition, many of your books will help you learn the ways of sailors, pilots, astronauts, explorers and scientists of all kinds.
Features you'll love in the Sea and Sky Program Guide:
- Parent helps that are practical and help you “learn together” with your student

Decide on Which Option is Right for Your Family!
The Sea and Sky Program: A One-Year Look at World History via Sea, Sky, & Space Voyages
Your family will get an opportunity to look at world history in a unique way -- through the development of key transportation methods that have influenced the outcomes of battles between kings and relationships between peoples. Along the way they’ll also be immersed in a study of the world’s oceans, its atmosphere and weather, and the universe in which it resides. Most students will find the concrete nature of the subjects to be engrossing, and the new connections in history that they’ll discover will fascinate and bring new meaning to how civilizations rose and fell over centuries. This program is designed to be another review method for those who seek to bring the classical emphasis of review to their schooling experience.Should I Add the Younger Learner’s Guide?

Do I still need to purchase an additional science program?
The Sea and Sky program includes more than enough science for a science credit; in fact, this program is more expensive than other comparable programs in our product line because it includes enough history and science for credit in both. The same holds true for students using our older learner’s guide, although parents should make sure enough experiments or research projects are being completed to satisfy state requirements.I’ve already got a few of the items in the package. Can I still get the package price and leave them out?
We love to offer our package prices to our parents to help them purchase a great program with a great discount. We do, however, have to sell all the items in the package in order to honor the discount. Usually the discount outweighs the value of the resources you might already have. If not, you can choose items individually to build your program, but remember -- the purchase of a themed program package ensures you also get free shipping, another discount you’ll want to take into account as you look at your total purchase.How do the Language Arts coordinate with this program?
We have several language arts programs that coordinate with our Sea and Sky program. “LA 3,” “LA 4,” “LA 5,” and “LA 6” each have reading lists right at their respective grade levels to enable students to experience comfortable reading growth. They also include creative writing suggestions for your student to complete that coordinate with their main study. You can link to any of these programs in the section above these questions.
